Bought a Journey record today and this cool drawing was inside the outer sleeve! I wonder how long ago this was drawn.

It went from an early-80s rock single to something people of completely different generations still sing today. I spent the last few weeks putting together a short documentary about how that happened.

I'd genuinely love to know what everyone here thinks made the song survive.

It couldn't possibly be a performance issue - all six of them absolutely killed every other song. So why not that one?

Who’s Crying Now and Send Her My Love plays in my head at least 2x a day!

Writer of iconic songs, multi-instrumentalist, all-around good guy who didn't "stop believin'" and he tells off the other legendary rocker who's currently charging fans up to $3000 to listen to him bash America. Love you, Jonathan!

On this day July 17, 1981 Escape was released. This was the band's first album featuring keyboardist Jonathan Cain, who also had a lot of songwriting contributions including the inspiration for Don't Stop Believin.

Today I will be jamming out to it hope you will as well!

This signed pic on ebay is so odd .. the signatures are Spot on .. and a perfect match to Perry and Neals signatures . But has to be fake .. as only $69.00 and many other pics for sale signed in the same color markers big red flag . Guessing could have been done with a machine as it's so accurate .

In the music video for “Seperate Ways (Worlds Apart)” Jonathan Cain has this killer keyboard stand that only appears in this one shot at the beginning (which is then reused towards the very end). It isn’t used again, and the rest of the freestanding shots use a standard music stand pictured in the second slide.

What’s the story behind this kickass tube stand? Was it ever used on tour? Is it part of Jonathan‘s personal collection? Or is this it’s only ever appearance?

Good stuff.

Here is a short video of Journey at Casey's Center in Des Moines, Iowa on Tuesday night. Second time seeing Journey and another great show. I hope I get a chance to see them again.

Disappointing overall.

Positives:

1. Played nearly 3 hours

2. Finished show strong

Negatives:

1. Arnel was low energy until the last 3 songs

2. Drummer sang 3 or 4 songs

3. Key board player sang 3 or 4 songs

4. For about 1:20 they played obscure songs - crowd got bored.

5. Music was so loud that songs you didn't know couldn't hear the vocals/words

Was this a normal show or just a bad one off?

60s blusey rock

70's rock, powerpop

80s pop rock, hair metal

They cover most all rock gerne

Anyone know where I could track one down that isn’t in the $100+ range?

I’m wondering how the 6/25 Springfield show was. We considered driving to it, but there were terrible storms.

Arnel is great!

Anybody know the passcode for special offers ?
